Purpose and compatibility
The interior mirror with the EC/LED/FLA designation is a BMW rearview mirror component, used in the E90, E91, and E92 series models after the facelift (LCI), as well as the BMW X1 E84. The design is designed to work with the vehicle's factory installation, making installation easier and preserving the original functionality of the interior.
As part of the BMW range, the mirror is designed to fit snugly into the headliner, center console, and windshield sensors. This ensures visual consistency and the manufacturer's intended ergonomics are maintained after replacement.
EC/LED/FLA technology
The EC marking indicates the use of electrochromatic dimming, which automatically reduces glare from vehicles behind. The system responds to changes in light intensity, improving driving comfort at night and in urban conditions.
The integration of LED technology provides clear, even illumination of selected elements within the mirror (e.g., the area around the console), enhancing the comfort of using the interior after dark. The FLA (High Beam Assist) function prepares the mirror for automatic high beam control, if the vehicle is equipped with one. This makes the mirror a vital component of the driver assistance system.
Construction and execution
The BMW interior mirror is designed to be mounted centrally on the windshield, with a compact, aerodynamic housing. The housing is made of durable plastic with a finish that matches typical BMW interior colors, maintaining a consistent cabin appearance.
The internal optical module and electronics ensure stable operation of the dimming function and compatibility with the vehicle's electrical system. These design solutions reduce mirror vibration while driving, resulting in a clear rearview image and improved visibility behind the vehicle.
Condition, Origin, and Advantages of Buying a Used Mirror
The mirror offered is in used condition, meaning it comes from a dismantled vehicle and has been verified for continued serviceability. This OEM component preserves the original BMW appearance while also providing a cost-effective alternative to a new component.
Choosing a used BMW interior mirror is a beneficial solution due to, among other things:
- factory fit for a specific generation and equipment version of the vehicle,
- maintaining the original aesthetics of the interior and compatibility with other elements of the cockpit,
- the ability to restore full functionality of EC/LED/FLA systems after damage to the previous mirror.
Installation and application instructions
Due to the presence of electronics and integration with comfort and safety systems, installation by a person experienced in BMW installations is recommended. Proper connection of the connectors and proper seating on the windshield base ensure stable operation of the electrochromatic functions and compatibility with vehicle systems.
Before purchasing, it's worth comparing your car's equipment configuration (presence of automatic high beam, windscreen sensors, etc.) with the mirror offered to fully utilize its capabilities. If in doubt, a comparison of part numbers and interchangeable numbers in the product's technical specifications can be helpful.
